Mikey Robins and Paul Wilson
Heroes and Howlers
A quizzical look at some of history’s quirkiest moments and unpredictable people. Mikey Robins, celebrated Australian comedian, and Paul Wilson, Oxford Historian and author, take you on a raucous tour across many of the strangest turning points in history.
This series celebrates the unsung heroes of history and puts the boot into the howlers. It revels in the characters, the cock ups, and the bizarre twists of fate that have changed the course of mankind – sometimes tragic, sometimes comical, sometimes just plain stupid.

“I found this podcast while searching for a different (not as good) one and I’m so glad I checked it out! They keep it interesting and funny and don’t go on and on. The episodes are a perfect length. If you don’t want to hear average, boring history, give this a try!”
